You certainly need hooks for a preamble where all macros, variables, and
environments are defined.
Bringing Velocity to write LaTeX is probably enjoyable since you can be very
free to input text source, I am wondering if there are no escaping issues.
Maybe with the $ sign which is used for math
Ok I’ve now realized that the 2 approaches mentioned so far are not going to
work:
* The first one mixes content and styling and is complex for the user to use
* The second one is actually very limited and doesn’t allow full control of the
LaTeX markup used
So I’ve been thinking about a new appr
I cannot help more than Paul, but I'm glad you are prototyping a PDF export
using LaTeX. I've been a LaTeX user for years and I have always loved the
results. But it's a very different world than the other tools.

What I understand so far, is that we would redefine commands in the .sty file
and then use

Hello Vincent,
having some experience with TeX I would implement CSS with macro-definitions…
Every element start would be a call to a macro that would check for rules that
would apply to its element, including passing parameters of their ancestry.
However, I guess that your solution seems proba
Hi devs,
I’m currently working on improving our TeX renderer (which is really a POC
ATM), in an effort to see if it could be used to generate nice PDF exports (you
generate LaTeX and then you convert to PDF).
The main issue is that LaTeX doesn’t have any technology for applying style to
it (li
